Hey, I'm Mark!

Wokingham, United Kingdom – Member since February 2021

We are Mark & Diana and first met over 30 years ago on our travels in the Sahara desert whilst overlanding through Africa. We went on to settle in the UK where our passion for travel resulted in us setting up our own Overlanding company.

Over the years we have travelled with our two sons to various destinations around the world.
Our campervan continues to fulfil our desire for adventure and travel. The self sufficiency and independence creates the ultimate feeling of freedom for us, whether on or off grid and we would love for you to experience this too.

Mark's usage instructions were very clear, Scoobs was well-equipped and clean. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay at the festival. Scoobs was easy to operate, even though this was my first time driving a motorhome. August 2025

The two of us had a fab time on the road for a week with Scoobs. As relative newbies wanted to learn the ropes and get some proper experience to see if we really had the campervan bug. Scoobs is well equipped for on and off-grid, has all the kit you need, is well maintained and a joy to drive. We had the full range of September weather from warm and sunny to stormy and cold and Scoobs delivered. I can tell you the heating works very well. Mark was a great host. Helpful and responsive before we picked up the van with a great hand-over that made sure we hit the road with confidence. Drop off was quick and easy too. Being able to leave our car at Mark's place was a convenient bonus. All in all, a great experience and would definitely recommend. September 2024
Response from Mark Thank you Peter, it was lovely to meet you Guy’s and really glad you enjoyed your time away in Scoobs. Good luck with choosing your own van. Mark & Diana

This is the second time we have hired Scoobs. It is a great festival van as it brilliantly set up for being off grid and we had plenty of hot water and battery power. Mark makes the hiring process very straightforward and we would definitely hire from him again. August 2024
Response from Mark Thank you Jo, hopefully see you for a different festival next year. Take care and thanks. Mark

We had never used a camper van before, so were a bit nervous. But Mark gave us a really great, friendly explanation of all that we needed to know. Scoobs was clean and well-equipped, and a great introduction to van-life for us. Thanks Mark. September 2023

Fabulous experience hiring Scoobs from Mark. A great camper - perfect size for our festival needs. Everything present & correct and Mark gave us a thorough walk round & instructions which we found very useful. Great van, lovely owner, highly recommended! August 2023

We took Scoobs to a festival for a long weekend and discovered a whole new level of camping. The van has everything you need; with a comfy bed and chairs, and literally everything else you would bring yourself on a camping trip. Mark was so helpful and thorough with instructions. We have already re booked for next year. August 2023

Scoobs was great, enjoyed our stay in him. Mark was a pleasure to do business with and very helpful, we had to contact him while we were away to help us sort something out on the van as neither of us are tech savvy and he helped us sort it out. July 2023

Scoobs was perfect for our requirements. It was comfortable to drive and to sleep in. Mark was great, took time to explain all the features when we picked up the vehicle. Would absolutely recommend. July 2022

Overall, everything was fine. The vehicle was quite new, so low mileage, and was pretty comfortable. Daphne had been involved in a mishap, where the side door and lower sill was damaged (though not enough to prevent the door appearing to open and close ok). However, when the weather became windy, we found that the door did not seal fully around the damaged area, and I would've liked advance notice on this before collection. (We had lots of comments from neighbouring campers, who obviously thought that we'd caused the damage!) I did know about the boiler not working, and Mark was good enough to write off a deficit for fuel tank level against the problem. Overall, the experience was pretty good, the vehicle was clean and tidy, and we returned it in as good condition as possible. Mark was very thorough in explaining what we needed to know about the vehicle. Bob Hawkes October 2021

We had the best experience when taking scoobs to Wales. Scoobs had everything we needed and was a pleasure to travel and live in. The service from the owner was brilliant and we have no hesitation in recommending. September 2021
Andrew Andrew
Fantastic service from Mark. Very thorough handover gave you peace of mind that everything was working and that there would be no surprises when returning the vehicle. Very comfortable and surprisingly easy to drive for such a long motorhome. Would definitely recommend renting from Mark. August 2021

Mark and Diana's campervan was great, we had a superb time away. All the equipment required was in van and Mark provided extra i.e. outdoor games for the kids and a bbq - just a shame the weather wasn't up to using the bbq!! Would definitely hire the campervan with Mark in the future. August 2021
Rachael Rachael
Daphne was perfect in every way. Lots of room for the 2 of us but would equally be just as good with 4. The service Mark provided was easy and went like clockwork, no complaints from us at all. We had a fabulous week and will definitely do it again. August 2021

Mark was a pleasure to deal with. Everything went smoothly and Daphne was a great home for our two week adventure. Two of us, plus an infant, all had a great time off-grid camping all round Scotland. Thoroughly recommend. July 2021

Daphe the dream! What an amazing camper and a great host! We rented Daphne for 5 days, driving over to the Isle of Wight and we had the best time! Mark kept us informed and had strong communication throughout the whole process. We had a question while we were away and he responded instantly. Daphne was amazing. The bed is super comfy, the bathroom is perfect, the kitchen superb. She's also basically brand new which was great. Mark has kitted out Daphe with all the utensils as he would want. From cutlery, crockery, really comfy camp chairs and table, bbq, outdoor games, indoor games, everything you could need for the most perfect trip. Opening up the back doors over the view of the countryside while you have your morning cup of coffee, you can't beat it. June 2021

Mark was really helpful throughout and readily available to answer any queries. Daphne has everything you need for a a trip away, and the layout is such that the conditions never felt cramped. Overall, it was an absolute pleasure and we look forward to the next campervan trip. June 2021

Pretty much brand new, had everything I needed. Will certainly hire again soon. May 2021

Mark was very friendly and very informative. Scoobs is a great motohome. We especially liked the separate toilet and shower and the fixed double bed at the rear. May 2021
